Milano" pasted to front free endpaper. Title page roughly translates to "Piero della Francesca. The legend of the Cross (frescoes in Arezzo). Text by Roberto Longhi." Piero della Francesca ( c. 1415 – 12 October 1492), originally named Piero di Benedetto, was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. To contemporaries he was also known as a mathematician and geometer. Nowadays Piero della Francesca is chiefly appreciated for his art. His painting is characterized by its serene humanism, its use of geometric forms and perspective. His most famous work is the cycle of frescoes The History of the True Cross in the church of San Francesco in the Tuscan town of Arezzo. The Pirelli S.p.A. and Dr. Alberto Pirelli: Giovanni Battista Pirelli (b. Dec. 27, 1848, Varenna, Como, Austrian Empire [Italy]—d. Oct. 20, 1932, Milan, Italy) was educated in Milan, and it was there in 1872 that he started a small rubber factory, the first in Italy and one of the first in all of Europe. It pioneered the manufacture of electric cable (1884) and in 1899 began producing automobile tires. In 1902 the company began its foreign expansion by starting a subsidiary factory in Spain. His two sons, Piero (b. Jan. 27, 1881, Milan—d. Aug. 7, 1956, Milan) and Alberto (b. April 28, 1882, Milan—d. Oct. 19, 1971, Casciano, Italy), joined the business in 1904. Factories were started—under the Société Internationale Pirelli of Basel, Switz.—in Great Britain, other European countries, Turkey, and the Americas; and eventually the Pirelli groups together employed more than 55,000 people. Piero Pirelli, chairman from 1932, greatly assisted the development of the Italian telephone service. His brother, Alberto, who was chairman from 1956 until his retirement in 1965, also was active in international affairs. He was a member of the Supreme Economic Committee of Versailles (1919), Italian delegate to the first International Labour Office of Geneva (1920–22), a member of the League of Nations economic committee (1923–27), and a leading negotiator on war reparations and debts for the Dawes and Young committees (1924, 1929). He became a minister plenipotentiary in 1924 and a minister of state in 1938. ————————————————————— Condition: Good (G): Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present.

Add to your cart and request total from seller for combined shipping. Sales Tax may apply, that's between you and ebay now. Please read and accept my terms of sale below before you bid.

BY BIDDING ON OR PURCHASING THIS ITEM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING SELLER TERMS: 1) COMBINED SHIPPING/POSTAGE: a. I happily combine shipping (where possible, sometimes it isn't), but orders over $10 total will likely require tracking now because of unacceptable Postal Service delays resulting in INR claims. Tracking/delivery confirmation seems to speed up shipments. So there might not be a discount on several inexpensive items combined. b. If you haven't paid yet for multiple purchases, please wait for a combined invoice, which may take up to 24 hours to send you. Don't worry, it's not a race to see how fast you can pay. c. If you must pay immediately, make sure all the items are on the same payment transaction. I will then be able to combine shipping (if possible) and send you a partial refund for overpayment of postage. Some people make numerous multiple purchases with separate payments and look for a shipping discount. That will not happen, so please add your items to your cart, and when you are done looking at my stuff, buy it all at once. Thanks! 2) POSTAGE: All USPS postage rates are calculated using the most affordable (not the quickest) shipping class, based on a pre-sale estimated weight and size of the package. If you want to upgrade to a quicker, more expensive postal class, you must let me know BEFORE you pay. 3) SALES TAX: Ebay has taken over all duties for sales tax collection for all states that require it. I have no control whatsoever over who pays sales tax, it is out of my hands. Please direct all questions/complaints to the good folks at Ebay. 4) INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws. 5) REPRODUCTION OF IMAGES: Seller is not selling the exclusive rights to reproduce images of the item offered. Buyer is of course free to reproduce as they wish, but seller retains and may exercise the right to reproduce any images of the item for any purpose before or after the sale, without permission from or compensation to the buyer. 6) LISTING DISCREPANCIES: If the Title, Description, and/or Photo on a listing do not match, for gosh sakes don't buy it. Mistakes happen. Let me know instead so I can fix the listing. If you do buy, the item described in the Title of the listing takes precedence over anything else. If you don't agree with that, I will cancel the purchase at your request.
